I am feeling so happy to be back over here writing in Blogger. It's like a breath of fresh air and feels more like "me". Just simple. To those new around here, I switched to a self-hosted Wordpress account in 2015, and while I did understand it, and got the hang of it, and designed in it (for a hot second)...I always just kinda wanted to come back here. So I finally did it this wee…

So I'm such a good blogger, that I'm going to show you last years trap, today. Because you know, that's the one I got good pics with. Then if you scroll far enough, I'll show you this years trap! haha read on friends.






So this one was made with:
• a cardboard box we had laying around the house
• green construction paper (taped around the box)
• pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, an…

I find the older I get, the more picky I am with decorating. And since I don't have all the money in the world to be throwing around and buying whatever I want, I decided to create a few pieces myself to bring some pops of pink into my little townhome for the upcoming holiday.

S U P P L I E S:
• foam board (i grab mine at Walmart or DollarTree)
• acrylic paint (pinks, reds, white, gold...what…

I don't know what it is about creating things that makes me so...happy. I guess I feel I have purpose and I feel accomplished when I see what I've made or designed with my hands. It's fun to me. And I'm all about making things cuter. My husband surprised me with a new phone for Christmas, and of course I was excited to get some new cases for it. I ordered some cheap ones off of Al…

Some of you have seen(via my Instagram) that I have a big 'ole chalkboard in my kitchen (about 15"x51"). When we moved back into our townhome last year, I decided I wanted one. So I made one myself, to fit where I wanted it to go. I have absolutely loved having this space to update as the seasons and holidays change. And today I wanted to share with you my February (or Valentine'…

I've got to start off by saying that my kids share a room. We don't have a ton of space right now (we live in a 1250sqft townhome), but I wanted to make their room a little cuter/give it some more personality or whatnot. What I'm saying, is that if I can pull this off, you can too!

I had been eyeing some cute alphabet walls on Pinterest, and decided that that's what I wanted to p…

It all begins with an idea that catches my eye. This one was found via Pinterest, and is a print by Lily&Val. Hot cocoa screams cozy and comfy and Christmas to me, and so I chose to use this for my next chalkboard design (see how i actually made my chalkboard, and my first design HERE).


After I screen-shot-ed (haha oh my word i know that's horrible...how do i say that anyways?!)  the Pint…

What do you do when your man brings you home a bunch of freshly cut wood slices? Make a wood slice wreath of course. Ever since I saw this one on Pinterest a few weeks ago, I have been bugging mine to go cut up a tree for me. Well, we finally got out and made it a family affair. We found this tree already chopped down/dead on some of my husband's grandparent's land.



What do you need to ma…
